"Love Contract: The Prosecutor's Private Attorney"

Decisive Action

The gentle breeze of May began to carry the heat of summer, rustling the green leaves on both sides of the road, dancing with the sparse sunlight.

Even in the port city, apart from the coastal Binhai Avenue, the buildings in the downtown area of Bit City still stood tall, only occasionally catching a whiff of the salty sea breeze.

Estella loved this kind of weather. Before the scorching summer was about to arrive, the sea breeze with a hint of coolness and salty flavor became a unique feature of Bit City, sweeping away her fatigue and irritability.

"Are you ready?"

Following the voice, a middle-aged man in a dark suit was looking at her kindly, but his eyes were still tinged with seriousness and solemnity.

Estella instinctively straightened up, pulling the unruly hair by her ear behind it, and her tone was still calm: "I'm ready."

Today is the day of the trial, and the case in hand involves a drunk driving accident that occurred three months ago on the bustling avenue of Bit City, causing two deaths and one injury.

The perpetrator, Eric Smith, is a prodigal son. Although it was clear that he was at fault, when the news came out, few law firms in the entire legal community were willing to defend the victims.

There are two reasons for this:

First, the perpetrator has hired a well-known lawyer who handles such cases.

Second, there are internal rumors that the forces behind Robert Weldon are not to be underestimated. Even if winning is a foregone conclusion, it is inevitable to make an enemy.

In the end, the Kim Law Firm, where Estella works, took on the case.

At first, Jason wanted to arrange for Bruce, who had more experience, to be in charge of the case. However, Bruce's litigation on hand had a temporary problem, and in the end, Estella volunteered to take full responsibility.

Bruce said that she was working hard for nothing. As a public prosecution case, the traffic accident will naturally be prosecuted by the prosecutor, and in the case of criminal and civil litigation, Estella, as the prosecutor, can at most directly sue the defendant for more death compensation after the sentence is determined.

However, Estella's approach to this issue is surprisingly simple.

Even if the other party's forces are powerful, they cannot withstand the public opinion driven by human life. Two deaths and one injury will inevitably be punished.

Although it is difficult to sentence the other party to life imprisonment, this point has been clearly informed to the victim's family when accepting this case.

The family is very reasonable, and the so-called requirements are to do their utmost to increase the sentence and compensation amount.

Of course, Estella did not let everyone down.

On the defendant's seat, Eric Smith was probably well-educated and sat there respectfully.

The result of two deaths and one injury is a heavy one. If the attitude is lazy, it is even less likely to reduce or mitigate the punishment.

The lawyer said that this trial is accompanied by a civil lawsuit, so when he saw that the prosecutor was just a young and beautiful girl, he couldn't help but be a bit calm.

Estella is indeed very beautiful. She does not belong to the thick-eyebrow type, but on the contrary, the attack power is not reduced.

Perhaps in the serious work environment, the short hair that was just at the collarbone was neatly tied into a low ponytail at this time, exposing the whole face.

Matching her small face, all the facial features of the girl are relatively small, only a pair of eyes have become a heavy stroke.

Her eyes are slender, with sharp inner corners and a slight downward hook, and the outer corners are also upturned even without a smile and eyeliner, which should be a light face, but it gives a distant attitude when she is not smiling.

Her overall makeup is very clean, with a strong matte texture, and there is no blush color to modify, which makes the whole person look more concise and capable. The edge of the eyebrows is straight and neat, and the light lines of the eye makeup are very coordinated.

Perhaps it is because I have seen too many lawyers who use serious small suits to highlight seriousness and seriousness. Occasionally, I see a person who clearly shows the same attitude with just one face and one eye, and the reporters in the audience can't help but pay more attention.

Under the pressure of public opinion, the defendant did indeed press the minimum term of ten years for traffic accident escape as the target. It is conceivable that even if the sentence is established, Eric Smith's family strength will be reduced later due to good performance.

So, Estella and the prosecutor have never thought about compromising from the beginning.

The other party's lawyer, Robert Weldon, is a famous lawyer, and handling traffic accident escape cases is not a problem. However, the reason for this case is obviously one-sided, and even if he is capable, he chooses to be conservative and reduce the sentence and compensation.

The victim's goal is to make the perpetrator pay an equal price, but the possibility of the death penalty and life imprisonment is not great, so Robert Weldon thinks that as long as there is a sentence, they should accept it under compromise.

He focuses on the criminal penalty, and he is not very concerned about the compensation, because he subconsciously does not think that the young girl can make a big wind and waves.

However, today's lucky number is not good, and the fortune is very bad.

In the criminal lawsuit, he was pressed by the prosecutor, and in the civil lawsuit, the other party's lawyer was close and close, and all the rescue fees, nursing fees, work fees, etc. were calculated one by one, and it was obvious that he did not want to let go of Eric Smith in the compensation.

There is a kind of momentum that is even if I am in prison, I want you to sit in the bottom of the prison, and even if I compensate, I want to blackmail you hard!

Perhaps it was unexpected that the other party's lawyer was aggressive, and after all, he was in a disadvantageous position, and Robert Weldon was really a bit unable to resist for a while.

The final result is expected: Estella won.

He won a high compensation of 1.7 million.

When Eric Smith heard the sentence and compensation amount, he was no longer as arrogant as when he came in.

From thinking it was seven years, it suddenly doubled, and the compensation was nearly 500,000 more than the upper limit given by his brother. His former arrogance was slapped in the face at this moment and burst out.

The hands that were handcuffed were limited in range, and when Eric Smith got up, he slapped the table fiercely, and the loud noise broke the calm after two hours of defense.

Estella was tidying up the materials, and when he heard the sound, he was stunned for a moment and then looked over.

The man in the prison uniform stared at her fiercely, his eyes full of undisguised hostility. He pointed rudely at the prosecutor's seat, and that sentence was almost said through gritted teeth:

"Fxxk you!"

"You better wait for me, axxhole!"

Hearing this, Estella just looked at him expressionlessly for a few seconds, then as if she hadn't heard anything, calmly lowered her eyelids and continued to tidy up the materials in her hands.

After leaving the courtroom, Jason saw that the person beside him didn't have any happy expression, thinking he was scared by Eric Smith's threat just now. He patted the girl's shoulder and said peacefully: "Don't worry, that guy is still in prison, just a beast in a cage, can't move you."

Estella hesitated for a second, knowing he was wrong, but just silently loosened the rubber band behind her, let the black short hair fall down, and then explained leisurely: "You are overthinking."

"Is that so?" Jason raised his eyebrows, seeing her start to brush Weibo on her mobile phone, and estimated that there was nothing wrong.

He cleared his throat and didn't advise more: "Well, let's go back to the law firm first."
